(John Vs. Roxanne of Rustboro Gym, battling for the Stone Badge. Roxanne controlled by Clawpaw for this battle.) It hadn't taken him long to reach the end of Rustboro Gym. His team had fought well to bring him this far, and his Shroomish had grown considerably in power and strength since the fights with the Trainers of Rustboro Gym. Now he stepped forward, feeling adrenaline course through his body as he saw Roxanne standing there atop her pedestal. Here on the ground was a battle field marked aptly for a Gym Leader battle. Resting one hand against his hip and leaning to the side, John tossed one Poke Ball casually into the air. "Yo, you're Roxanne, right? I'm here to take you on for that Stone Badge!" he shouted up to the woman, initiating his Gym fight. Now, there was no turning back. He would either come out of this fight with a badge and one step closer to his goal, or fail and learn to become stronger from it. Only time would tell what would unfold. Time and a whole lot of luck. |

Roxanne sent out Lunatone to start with. Most trainers came in with fighting-type pokemon, but Lunatone was Rock/Psychic, and so it canceled out the would-be type bonus of that particular type. It may be a little cruel, crushing so many hopes of newbie trainers with this unexpected typing, but she figured that the stronger ones would be able to overcome this anyways.
((Note sure how to proceed as a gym leader. I'll get the hang of this as we go.))

((No worries. xD You'll get into the swing of things. Oh, and for these fights, to make them more lengthy, you should post from the Trainer's perspective and the Pokemon's perspective. As such displayed below.))
Lunatone? Eba mentioned something about that Pokemon...Rock and Psychic? Ok, no Break. Perfect, lets start off with Shroomish then.
"Shroomish, you're up! Lets go!" John called, sending out his Shroomish. She bristled and a grim frown spread across her features.
A Lunatone? Against a Shroomish? She was a Grass type-this would be a cinch.
"Alright Shroomish, you know the drill! Lead off with Bullet Seed!"
Shroomish sprang to action the instant John's voice reached her tiny little ears. She sprang up into the air, facing the opposing Lunatone in a downward arc, and shot a spray of seed shaped bullets toward Roxanne's Lunatone. Let that be a lesson to use a Rock type against a Grass Pokemon.
I'm really doing this, John thought to himself as he watched his Shroomish spring to action in front of him, leading off the battle strong.
I'm going to win a badge. My first badge. Ever. This is it.

Lunatone took the brunt of the attack, and already it looked as if it was going to faint. Roxanne gritted her teeth. The trainer looked like the type to use fighting pokemon, but grass... Why did her gym have to be right next to the Petalburg Woods?
"Lunatone," she commanded, "use confusion!" Lunatone heard its trainer's command and concentrated all of its psychic powers at the shroomish, hoping to make it collapse in agony after having its mind bent and broken.

Mind bending attacks couldn't be dodged unless combated with another Psychic attack.
Shroomish, however, is no Psychic type, nor has any kind of Psychic powers. So, naturally, she took the full brunt of the attack head on, with a shocked expression on her face. The mind bending powers of the Confusion attack are ravaging to the small Pokemon, and she gave a shrill cry of pain, sailing backwards into the air, landing with a slight crash, kicking up dust.
"Shroomish! Hang in there!"
Have to put that thing to sleep, or she won't survive another hit.
"Shroomish, get up quick and dowse that thing with Sleep Powder!"
The tiny Pokemon sprang to life immediately, leaping into the air, twirling a fine green dusty powder around her body, and shaking in the air to send it flying toward the Lunatone.

Lunatone tried to move out of the way, but its reactions were too late. The sleep powder engulfed it, and instantly it was dreaming about a large cake. Confusion had been a useful attack, so Roxanne commanded "Lunatone, wake up and use confusion!" However, the cake was too alluring, and the Lunatone decided to eat the cake instead of rejoining the world of the awake.
((Had no muse, but these forums are dying, so I decided to post anyways. I'm not doing NaNoWriMo anymore, so I'll have time to post better later on. Plus, it's 7:30 AM on a day where I was awake until past 1 the previous night, so I'm not really able to concentrate XD))
